Facilities
Ceremony
You have the option to have your ceremony outdoors, surrounded by breathtaking views of rolling hills and open countryside. The oak framed garden gazebo is specially designed and fully licensed to host civil wedding ceremonies. The outdoor gazebo features an alfresco aisle, guest benches, and a registrar table. For a truly stunning entrance, you can walk through the avenue of trees, down the meadow, and to the gazebo.
In case of bad weather, the Brackendale Suite can be transformed into a beautiful indoor space for a civil ceremony, complete with an aisle. The room can easily be reset and transformed for the wedding breakfast, while guests can enjoy reception drinks on the private terrace.
Reception
After the wedding ceremony, it is time to celebrate! The spacious Brackendale Room is a versatile space that can be decorated according to your preferences, reflecting your unique style and personality. With a capacity to comfortably accommodate up to 100 guests, you can opt for either a formal or informal seating arrangement. The room features large windows on two sides, allowing ample natural light to illuminate the space. Its neutral interior provides a perfect backdrop for weddings of various styles, including rustic, natural, modern, and contemporary themes.
In addition to the Brackendale Room, there is also a charming outdoor terrace area that offers a picturesque setting for an open-air drinks reception, with the stunning Derbyshire Dales as a backdrop.
At Knockerdown, they truly embrace the spirit of celebration, and that includes raising a glass of fizz! They offer various spaces where you can toast to the happiness of the newlyweds, and they can set up drinks reception stations anywhere on the premises. The Wedding Garden Gazebo and Brackendale Terrace are particularly popular spots for enjoying champagne and canapes. While they do not have a licensed bar at Knockerdown, they kindly request that you bring your own drinks. You are welcome to bring as much as you like, and they do not charge any corkage fees.
Catering
Food and beverages play a significant role in any wedding celebration, and the experienced team is here to assist you in finding the best caterers to meet your specific requirements. You can choose to have a formal three-course meal or opt for a more relaxed atmosphere by having a feasting table where guests can help themselves throughout the day. Alternatively, you can bring in food trucks, hog roasts, pizza ovens, or even provide your own delectable dishes. The choice is entirely yours, and the knowledgeable team can provide recommendations for local suppliers and guide you through the process.
